It does look awesome though, I'd love to see it against my entry would probably fit inside one of the wheel wells.

where are you going to keep it?

Massive!!!
Well done too, imagine doing that camo for real and by hand. It must have take a couple of days walking all over her back spraying paint everywhere. Just trying to keep the pattern would be hard.
